Title: Warse
Post by: Fishponds on Thursday 25 January 07 18:17 GMT (UK)
I am trying hard to fine the parents of John Warse (Wares) born c 1755 Canisbay.  He married Jannet Old (Auld) in 1778.  Can anyone help please?  The Scottish naming pattern can be very useful but also quite confusing.

Regards

Sorry, brain-freeze. Well out of your estimate...by 20 years.  :P

Fishponds, just a thought, the various spelllings of Old that I have come across include Auld, and other rootschatters I am sure will come up with others.  This may help in your search.

Fishponds,
the only info I can provide is that Janet was listed as janet oal.
Their family were
james 1780
john 1781
euphemia 1783
Anne 1788
Donald 1790
William 1793
Janet 1796

Frank - question 1 was "I am trying hard to fine the parents of John Warse (Wares)"

Variation in spelling but maybe same family as in

Stroma being so close to Mainland Scotland (Caithness).

Have you seen Stuart's site
http://www.familyauld.org.uk/
His ealiest Auld(etc) appears to be George who married Janet Smith 1787.
It could well be that this George was a brother! to your John b 1755.

Catherine WARES b1839 being my link to this tree - she married Alexander Auld
